There, the local swimming pool became her first body of water. Through her life there have been others that have meant different things, but have still been, in their own way, home: from the wild coastline of New Zealand to a pond in northwest London. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn lyrical, powerful prose, \u003ci\u003eSmall Bodies of Water\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together memories, dreams and nature writing. Exploring everything from migration, food, family, earthquakes and the ancient lunisolar calendar, Nina reflects on a girlhood spent growing up between two cultures, and what it means to belong.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNina Mingya Powles \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer, editor and publisher from Aotearoa New Zealand.
